I know what you mean about the ‘66 column, though. My son has stitches on his chest from the wheel that look like he got implants or something.
By the door panel I would say that is a 66 Tempest not a 67 Lemans, so no energy absorbing Column.

The gills in the rear quarter clearly make it a 67 Lemans...who would take the time to graft in those gills and then put a 67 GTO grill in...

For the benefit of those who have never dealt with an early collapsed column following a crash, they were designed to telescope only several inches once the pin shears. This '67 is (IMO) a severe hit case. My congratulations go to the driver for surviving this. He is fortunate and blessed.

Two different cars. They took a similar hit. Red interior is 66sprint6's car. HTH.
